Welcome to The Ivy League Look

This blog presents a historical view through articles, photographs, reminiscences, and advertisements, of an American style of men's fashion of the mid-20th century known as "The Ivy League Look" or "The Ivy Look."

This blog will not present modern-day iterations of this "look"; it will be shown in its original context as an American style worn during this specific era. Author commentary will be kept to a minimum.

The photo of A. H. Benoits must have been taken somewhat later than 1966 since the station wagon parked in front is a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle. The earliest it could have been shot would have been September of 1968.
